This is an autobiographical account of the intellectual and artistic influences on the work of Mark Franko. It touches on his professional dance career with the Paul Sanasardo Dance Company and his choreographic career with his own company NovAntiqua, his graduate education at Columbia University, and the development of an interdisciplinary approach to theory and practice that blends the activities of the dance scholar with those of the dancer-choreographer.

This study examined the daily life and most important physical injuries suffered and reported by the dancers of a professional (contemporary) dance company in São Paulo, Brazil. Through an observational, cross-sectional, retrospective procedure using a questionnaire that collected qualitative and quantitative data, we were able to gather information on 30 dancers who collaborated with the survey. We determined that the injuries considered as most important by dancers were those that prevented dance activity during some months. These injuries occurred mainly during rehearsals (which is the activity occupying the most time on the schedule). Articular injuries were the most frequent and mainly involved the knee and ankle. They were related to classical technique, in which most of the company’s artists started their dance careers. Medical care usually was sought within 1 day, and the prescribed treatment resolved the problem, but the injury cause was not identified in all cases.

OBJECTIVE: Eleve is a core dance movement requiring the greatest ankle plantarflexion (PF) range of motion (ROM). One possible way to enhance eleve performance is by using motor imagery practice (MIP). The aims of this pilot study were to investigate: 1) functional ankle PF maximal angles and ROM while performing eleve among professional dancers, 2) the effect of MIP on enhancing eleve performance, and 3) participants’ views on the MIP intervention and its feasibility in a professional dance company setting. METHODS: Five professional dancers, mean age 31 yrs (SD 1.87), participated in a 2-week MIP intervention. Data on ankle PF maximal angles and ROM were collected pre- and post-intervention using 3-dimensional motion capture while performing repeat (10 repetitions) and static (10 sec) eleve. RESULTS: At baseline, ankle PF maximal angles were 169.20° (SD 2.81°) and 168.36° (2.23°) and ankle PF ROM were 40.21° (3.35°) and 35.94° (3.95°) for the repeat and static tasks, respectively. After the MIP intervention, ankle PF maximal angles were 170.28° (4.26°) and 170.74° (3.77°) and ankle PF ROM were 41.53° (2.33°) and 39.30° (2.30°) for the repeat and static tasks, respectively. Feasibility of MIP was established with 100% compliance and positive views were expressed by participants. CONCLUSION: The results suggest MIP holds potential as an adjunct training method for enhancing elev. performance among professional dancers.

Bharatanatyam, the classical dance style of South India, is adept at conveying complex, multilayered narratives. This paper documents and reflects upon the interactions between the author, a scientist and educator, and a professional dance company as they strive to develop and produce a dance-drama about the carbon cycle. The author examines the process by which scientific ideas are shared with the artists and the way a scientific narrative becomes one with an artistic meaning. The paper also examines areas for possible future science-dance collaborations and explores the necessary features for a collaborative science-dance pedagogy.

In the early 20th century, folk dance had been used to show symbolic support for several nation states by transporting masses of peasants to major urban centers to perform in festival settings. Igor Moiseyev, a well-known dancer and choreographer with the Boshoi Ballet, was appointed by the government of the former USSR in 1936 to found a professional dance ensemble, to be named the State Ensemble of Folk Dance of the Peoples of the USSR, but called the Moiseyev Dance Company in the West. Following state directives, he prominently featured the dances of the Russian ethnic majority in his repertoire. In this essay Shay suggests that, in fact, Moiseyev spectacularized folk dance by creating choreographies with spectacular movements in what was essentially an invented tradition based on classical ballet rather than using authentic folk dances.
